We Women
By MARION A. RINGER
“Emily Post says—” has become
institution.
An institution openly jeered at
and secretly looked up to. We need
an Emily Post in person at Penn
State. There arc not a few of us
who stammer when introducing
people, arc at a loss when answer
ing formal invitations, and don't
knew which fork to use first.
The new constitution of W. S. G.
A. has provided for a more active
House of Representatives. One of
their plans is to have a series of
talks upon etiquette applied to
Penn State life by Mrs. Neva
Morris. They will be in the form of
open discussions after each meet
ing of the House. Mrs. Morris has
become an expert upon the techni
calities of social usage, and has
steered many of us to the right
phrases when sending invitations.
These meetings will be open to
anyone wishing to attend. They
would be a priceless help to all fra
ternity social secretaries. Girls who
are interested in committee work
would gain many tips to help them
in planning our social affairs. In
fact, we all would profit by these
discussions.
W. S. G. A. gives a scholarship
prize every year to the freshman
girl attaining the highest.average.
The prize is fifty dollars; no other
strings attached to st, just the
highest average in the class.
Petty Stead received the award
this year with an average of 2.89,
in the lower division.
Standing at the head of your
class is a great honor, but to be re
munerated for it with fifty dollars
is great fortune.
So, freshmen women, be aware
of the fact that you have fair boun
ty to work for.

Her delivery, however, was good and
she got the most out of her lines. As
the chauffeur Donald Geiger had sev
eral good speeches, most of which he
muffed either because he mumbled
them or tirhed them poorly.
The remainder of the cast, Lucille
Giles, as Chester Burton’s sweetheart;
Beatrice Conford, as her mother; and
Dorothy Clarke, as Miss Arden’s
secretary; was rather colorless. This,
however, was due, more to the script
than to their performances.
The technical work was poorer
than in any of last season’s shows.
There was nothing especially diffi
cult about the sets, the properties, or
the lights, yet they were badly han
dled. The light cues were not well
timed; it was impossible to hear the
radio any further back than Row C;
there was no fire in the fireplace. The
set ilookeu’ thrown together, which
was probably the case as we under
stand the designer and crew had only
a few days in which to make it.
“Personal Appearance” was excel
lent entertainment. Most of .its short
comings were a result of the limited
time available to get it ready. By
next month, when it will be given at
a dramatics convention here, it will
be an improved show.—J. B.
40 Graduate Students
To Receive N. Y. A. Aid
The number of graduate students
who will be helped by NYA will be
about 40, Dean Frank D. Kern an
nounced today.
Many more applied and the grant
ing of work was very difficult. Most
of the students will be employed by
helping with the research work done
by the various schools.

Wilde Clinches Position
On Lion Soccer Lineup
By JERRY WEINSTEIN
Cleverness again triumphed over
power on the soccer field as one more
player was added to Coach Bill Jef
frey’s list of starters in the hooters'
opener with Bucknell this coming
Saturday.
Dick Wilde, a newcomer, has
clinched the outside left position and
will lake his place on the forward
line along with four tried veterans.
What decided Jeffrey’s selection was
the skill exhibited by Wilde in his
massing and his general use of clev
erness when power might have been
substituted so easily.
Halfbacks a Problem
Still outstanding on the small list
of Jeffrey’s worries is the halfback
line. With no veterans on hand from
last year’s successful aggregation,
the halfback positions presented the
main problem in building a new team.
As it stands now, there is a toss-up
between four players as to who will
get the starting call at the three po
sitions.
The center half post may be
clinched by Walt Painter, giant sopho
more, whose improvement in pre-sea
son practices has been amazingly
rapid. But the right half and left
half spots are still wide open, with
the selection open to the veteran Ed
die Mandcl, Frank Megrail, and
Freddy Spiker.
Weddell Still Out
The remaining positions on the
team are' well taken care of by vet
erans with one exception, left half
back. Until today, it was expected
that Dave Weddell’s injured knee
would be sufficiently healed for him
to take his post. However, it will be
at least another week before he will
be in condition to start.
Until Weddell is ready, Bill Borda
will take up the fullback duties. The
letterman, Phil Barnes, is expected to

more than take care of the other full
back area.
Soccer Socks
Outside of the appearance of Wilde
as a competent addition to an already
startlingly capable forward line, the
main line of chatter around soccer
headquarters is the new life of Carl
Wacker . . . outstanding as a sopho
more last year, Wacker has perform
ed in practices this year with such
ability as to amaze even the easy-go
ing Jeffrey . . . Wacker has become
more than smart ... is making bet
ter use of his power kicks ... his
short-pass style will add to the Li
ons’ offensive strength . . . and he
will probably take Captain Bill Mc-
Ewan’s place at center forward next
year . . .

least one individual around the col

parently reads this column with a
more or less critical eye. To our in
furiated critic, we pass the laurel
wreath for astute observation.
The childish' performance manifest
during the showing of “Nine Days a'
Queen” on the part of the juvenile
clement of the audience was some
what disconcerting. We gave up lis
tening to the humble dialogue of the
picture to enjoy to the fullest the
scintillating collegiate wit we heard
around us.
